I have resorted to my traditional medium which is almost nothing, just paint straight out of the tube mixed with a teeny bit of stand oil from time to time if the palette dries out. On a recent painting I had used Liquin which some other artists swear by, but it has taken way too long a drying time (weeks). Maybe that would work for a larger gallery painting or a portrait commission, but my daily paintings need to dry quickly so they can be shipped soon after purchase. I am hoping that painting will be dry enough to ship on Monday or Tuesday.

About Me

Since January 2006 I have been helping homeless pets by donating funds from the sale of my pet portraits to animal rescue organizations.

Artist's Statement:

My journey as an artist has followed a crooked path through real estate brokerage, business management, and the study and practice of Architecture. In 2005-2006 I came full circle back to studio art and daily painting. A fifth-generation native Texan, I am deeply entwined in the land and lore; thus today "I paint the sauce of Texas" (animals, flowers, people, places). I design. I draw. I paint.
